"Named after the famous French novelist Jean Genet, whose identity is well established amongst the yaoi community, Juné was first coined from the Japanese pronunciation of his name "Jan Jooneh". Jean Genet was famous for writing several novels post World War II depicting the subtle erotica between beautiful boys. In homage to Jean Genet, a Japanese magazine was name Juné after him. Genet’s famous works include Journal du Voleur (1949), The Thief’s Journal, and Notre-Dame des Fleurs (1944), Our Lady of the Flowers." I think my head just exploded. I guess I need to read "Miracle de la Rose" and "Querelle" again. I've always thought those were the sexiest, though very distrubing, novels. ...subtle erotica between beautiful boys. Maybe they mean "Querelle"... No... no, I've no idea what they mean. I think I'll go lay down for a while. All I can say, is I hope this gets more people reading more Genet. He's still great.
